Dry lightning occurs when there is enough moisture in the atmosphere to cause a thunderstorm, but the air near the ground is so dry that any possible precipitation evaporates, explained Weather Service meteorologist Rose Schoenfeld.

When well-watered, living plant material is heated by a nearby energy source, such as a fire, the moisture inside it must be driven off before it can ignite.

The added warmth and moisture they may bring could potentially lead to more intense summer storms.

At the same time, a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, which increases the chance of flood-inducing downpours and hurricanes.

Iceberg barely registers as flavor, but its crunch delivers deep satisfaction, especially the white core, which, when fresh, pops with subtle moisture like vegetal Pop Rocks.
